Something Sweet From My Past

Last week when my sister left, Kateri was able to take the road trip with her and spend a few days in N. Cal. They were able to spend time visiting family and some of our favorite spots up there. They sent me pics from visiting Lake Tahoe and it made me want to pack the kids up and go!

One of our all-time favorite places to visit when we’re up north is the town of Nevada City. When I lived in N. Cal. I loved it and would visit the quaint shops and a favorite restaraunt. It holds some really good memories for me. It also happens to be the home of The Truffle Shop. I’ve talked about my love of chocolate before and I’d have to credit De Groot Truffles and the The Truffle Shop with really fine tuning my chocolate snobbery. Who can argue with how amazing the “Chocolate god’s” truffles are, when they’ve been enjoyed by the White House and the Vatican?! I hardly ever make a trip up N. so De Groot Chocolate is a sweet memory for me (though, all of the chocolates can be ordered online). But God bless my wonderful daughter and my family that was with her, because they took the time to go to the shop and she brought me home 2 amazing truffles! My younger kids thought I was nuts when I took the box and did the Happy Dance of Chocolate Joy. I savored every bit of both of the truffles and didn’t share a single bite! (I’m usually pretty good about sharing). If you are ever in Nevada City be sure to treat yourself to an amazing chocolate experience and if your clicking finger happens to have a chocolate craving, try ordering online. You will be happy you did!

Have a great day~
